L-Lactide is an intermediate for the industrial production of polylactic acid (PLA). The
chemical and optical purities of lactide determine the quality of the prepared PLA. It is of …

In this work, we designed polyaniline-supported zinc oxide nanocomposites, which were
easily prepared catalysts and could catalyze the condensation reaction of l-lactic acid to …

Green synthesis of bioderived high‐molecular‐weight poly (ethylene 2, 5‐
furandicarboxylate)(PEF) over metal‐free catalysts is a significant challenge. This study …

Polylactic acid (PLA), as a biodegradable and renewable polymer, has been widely used in
biomedical and commercial applications. The energy-efficient synthesis of lactide from lactic …

Poly (ethylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate)(PEF) is in the spotlight as a new emerging biobased
polyester. Usually, PEF exhibits very slow and weak melt crystallization behavior. In this …

Enantiomerically pure lactides of l-lactide (LLA) and d-lactide (DLA) were synthesized with
high yield (68.5–69.5%) via depolymerization of oligo-poly-l-lactic acid (O-PLLA) and oligo …

Melt/solid polycondensation (MP/SSP) of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) was conducted by using
several aromatic sulfonic acids as the catalysts. It was clarified that the increase in molecular …

Lactide is the crucial intermediate for polylactic acid (PLA) synthesis via ring‐open
polymerization, but it suffers low yield and low purity induced by racemization reaction. In …

Directly starting from d, l‐lactic acid (LA) and pyrimidine‐2, 4, 5, 6‐tetramine (PTA), the
copolymer P (LA‐co‐PTA) as a novel potential solid compatible polymeric flame retardant is …

Stereoregular high polymers of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA)(M w 1.2× 10 5, isotacticity 96.0%)
and poly (d-lactic acid)(PDLA)(M w 1.0× 10 5, isotacticity 98.6%) were successfully …
